The State of Iowa has responded to a request from the attorney for former "The Bachelor" star Chris Soules asking for a dismissal of charges in the fatal crash of an Iowa farmer.

Soules is charged with leaving the scene of a deadly accident after an April 24 crash near his farm in northern Iowa that killed 66-year-old Kenneth Mosher.

Attorney Alfredo Parrish filed a motion Monday to dismiss the charges. Parrish argued that 911 call recordings prove that Soules met the requirements of Iowa law in the crash, and should not be charged with leaving the scene.

Audio released last week by the Buchanan County Sheriff's office shows Soules telling a dispatcher that he "rear-ended a guy on a tractor" at 8:20 p.m. Monday near the northern Iowa town of Aurora.

In a motion filed Tuesday, state prosecutors argued against a dismissal of charges, saying the court has already determined “that there is probable cause to believe that an offense has been committed and the defendant committed it” at the Defendant’s Initial Appearance on April 25, 2017.

The prosecution argues that in order to be in compliance with the law, Soules was to “immediately return to the scene of the accident or inform the law enforcement authorities where he could be located.” Prosecutors say Soules did neither.

“Furthermore, the only permissible reasons for which Defendant could leave the scene of the accident in the first place was to seek necessary aid or report the accident to law enforcement.” In this case, prosecutors say, Soules did neither.

Prosecutors also said in Soules’ motion to dismiss, he made no attempt to obfuscate his identity. However, prosecutors say he “did attempt to obfuscate the immediate facts and circumstances surrounding the accident, including a determination of his level of intoxication and an explanation of the empty and partially consumed open alcoholic beverages located in and around his vehicle that he was seen purchasing at a convenience store shortly before the accident.”

Soules reported that the man was unconscious in a ditch. The call shows that other people were there. Authorities say Soules left before emergency responders arrived.Soules was arrested later at his Arlington farm several miles away. He is charged with leaving the scene of a deadly crash. He was released from jail Tuesday after posting bond.

A statement issued last week through a spokesman says that his attorneys are "confident that once all the evidence is made public, it will show Soules acted reasonably and did everything in his power to aid Mr. Mosher."
